Today we are celebrating children's day. Do you remember those past carefree days of playing without any time restrictions. We demanded something and we received it, even our small mistakes and mischief were glorified by everyone. Then we became older and everything changed, responsible nature was expected from us. We can't be child again but we can adopt to our childlike nature full of innocence and trust simultaneously we can't be childish means immature or silly.
Let's learn some spiritual lessons from child.
*C-confidence in father*, have you seen play between a young child and it's father. Father picks it up and throws high in the air. Does child becomes fearful? No...its just laughing and enjoying because child is confident that father is going to catch me and protect me from falling down. Similarly lord Krishna who is our supreme father tosses us high in air, by giving us some tests, but we need to be confident that He will surely protect us.
*curious to know*, child is always curious and eager to know the things, devotee is also always curious to know more and more about Lord Krishna, His pastimes, His names, His qualities, His beauty etc.
*H-happy because carefree*, child is happy because he has no worries. Child knows I will get my food, my toys and all other things on time. Devotee also knows that Lord will take care of their all needs and necessities thus they are not worried about their maintainance and sustenance.
*I-innocent*, child is so innocent in its heart, it doesn't know any politics or manipulation or troubling others. It fully trust parents. Devotee is also innocent thus offence less and pure at his heart.
*L-looks only for mother*, just look at the child when it's in difficulty. It only searches for mother and doesn't compromise with any other thing. Spiritual aspirants also understand that they are trapped in difficult situations of material world, they don't seek for other solutions but directly approach Lord.
*D-dependent upon parents*, child is not dependent upon anyone other than its parents, it fully believes in them thus parents also love a child. Similarly a devotee too has full faith in God and His mercy, Lord also like to take care of dependent souls.
